The “heinous” male accused of shoving an 83-year-old military veteran off a New York City subway station platform and onto the train tracks last weekend was deported four times and has 15 prior charges on his record, the Department of Homeland Security said.
DHS on Thursday added that Immigration and Customs Enforcement has asked New York authorities not to release illegal alien suspect Bairon Posada-Hernandez, whom Deputy Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis called a “heinous” and “serial criminal” who “should never have been able to walk our streets and harm innocent Americans.”
Posada-Hernandez was arrested for attempted murder Tuesday in connection with Sunday’s incident, during which he also allegedly pushed a 30-year-old man onto the subway train tracks, the agency said.
DHS said ICE on Tuesday placed a detainer on Posada-Hernandez, a Honduran national. Bis added that “DHS is calling upon New York sanctuary politicians to commit to this ICE detainer.”
